Syn Free Lasagna Cups

These are my new favourite way to eat lasagna, without a doubt! Quicker (you don’t have to wait for a whole big dish to cook through), just as delicious, fun to eat and obviously syn free too! There’s also something really special about the different textures that you get from this dish – there’s the soft pasta around the bottom, the mince and the cheese which are gooey and delicious, and then the crispy lasagna sheets around the top which add a crunch to the whole dish! Perfect with a side of veg, great for midweek dinners, and easy to bake ahead of time and then take to lunch/reheat, these are seriously versatile!

I came up with the idea recently after making the Slimming World Spring Rolls, which also use lasagna sheets. I realised that not only are they versatile, but they’re really nice crispy! I then got to thinking about other ways they could be used, and this just seemed like the obvious choice! The great thing is, that it’s a dish that you can easily multi-task with. Whilst you’ve got the mince on, you can be boiling the lasagna sheets and weighing out your cheese, and then it’s easy to assemble! Another great thing about these little Lasagna Cups, is that they’re a lot more low key than a whole lasagna, and you can make up as many as you fancy so you’re not left with waste! This makes them ideal for lunches, and with a bit of clever clingfilming you can even take them in a packed lunch. 

If you read my blog regularly, you’ll know that I’ve got a bit of a thing for melted cheese…it’s my favourite way to eat my Healthy Extra A! Using it as such in this recipe makes it completely syn free, but even if you fancied these after you’d already had your HexA they’d still only be 1 syn each! How great is that!?! At its base, this is one of the simplest recipes I’ve ever made, it’s just mince, pasta, a little bit of sauce and then some cheese. The fantastic thing about it is that it’s really fun to eat and makes an excellent change from standard meals! For me, one of the biggest things that helps me stay on plan when doing Slimming World is ensuring that I have a good variety of meals and recipes up my sleeve to do from week to week, this stops the plan getting boring and keeps me on my toes! These are going to be a firm favourite in my house from now on, so I’m pretty pleased.
